2022 Harvest Sicilian Nocellara del Belice Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Tasting notes
Olio Verde Extra Virgin Olive Oil—made from 100% Nocellara del Belice olives—with the aroma of tomatoes, and a luscious yet silky feel with medium fruitiness and a delicate hint of peppery greens to the palate. A medium to robust oil.
How to use
An all-purpose Sicilian olive oil—use on everything and anything from delicate crudo and platters of fresh seafood to classic Sicilian and Southern Italian dishes like caponata and grilled swordfish with capers.
About the Producer
Upon its release in 1989, Olio Verde was a turning point for Sicily: the first olive oil made from a single cultivar: Nocellara del Belice Olives from the Pignatelli family's historic estate in Castelvetrano, Sicily. Grown using ecological methods, the olives are harvested in early October while they are still bright green—imparting a singular flavor onto the oil—and are milled on the estate within hours of being picked.
Notable Mentions: We agree with The Kitchn that, "A bottle of really good olive oil may be the most versatile gift you can give a cook."

Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Olio Verde
love it!
Delicious!
Picked some amazing items to go out for an Xmas basket on the late side.
Delivery was on time, had everything I wanted and my client was so delighted.
MH was “on top of it.” Thanks for making it happen.
I was introduced to Olio Verde in 2012 and never looked back. I never buy bottled salad dressing. I just use this olive oil combined with whatever ingredients needed for a particular salad. Outstanding!
